But if your goal is long-term financial freedom, adding another appreciating asset could be a smart move.

Also adding, I have spoken to my parents and they are all in for being creative with our arrangement.

In my rentals anyone over 18 that wants to be added to the lease can do so given that they pass the same screening as every other tenant in my portfolio.

This could be rehabs, adding bedrooms/units, etc.Most of my clients do buy and hold because of the above mentioned.

You can, but it's called ad hominem and slander.

There are multiple resources to help you find a market and eliminate markets where you don't want to invest.

The only downsides I’ll gripe about is the time it takesto get used to the move in process of adding a tenant (if you already have people) and that I don’t find it mobile phone friendly for doing a lot of work however short quick hit issues are great on the phone.  

Take a look at this ad, which is clearly targeting a keyword that a buyer would use.I know what you’re thinking: “Yeah, I only pay when someone clicks on my ad,” which is true.

Adding in court fees, attorney fees, no rent during the process, and any turnover expenses versus just eating the plumbing fee. 

Yeah, looks like something that they added for themselves.
